The aim of this research was to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and outcomes of surgery for tubal ectopic pregnancy using single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) in comparison to conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS) in the authors' local setting. Design: This single-center prospective study included consecutive patients treated by the SILS or CLS approach for salpingectomy in tubal ectopic pregnancy from September 1, 2011, to April 1, 2016. Materials and Methods: Information on patient bio-data, intra-, and postoperative data were collected and compared between patients who underwent the two surgical approaches. Results: In total, 93 consecutive patients underwent surgery for salpingectomy in tubal ectopic pregnancy. Of these, 33 (Group 1) were treated by SILS and 60 (Group 2) were treated by standard CLS. All 33 (100%) patients were treated successfully with the SILS approach, with...
